Pals, i need your halp

[skorge]

that's what happens when you spill taco guts all over your computer bro...

[Zithax]

for shame. I have three desktops, two laptops and a netbook scoured around my house...

[Lill-Leif]

8 year old computer? Those are like free where I live..

[yaaaflow]

get a job?

[Craige83]

You could always trade sexual favors for various computer parts, I'd post on Craigslist until you have enough to peice together an EQ Machine.

[wimble]

An EQ machine (if this means a decently equipped game machine on a modern operating system) is not even required. I picked up the cheapest desktop machine available at Fry's Electronics on sale (for under $300 3 years ago) with Windows XP, added 2GB of RAM (<$100), and a low-end Radeon card (<$100) and it works fine for content at low levels anyway.

If bard wimble ever makes it to raid content, then I can consider something more powerful if needed, but my guess is that this will work fine for my needs forever.

That's still a non-trivial amount of money out of most budgets, but it sounds like you may need a new PC anyway.

I would say your priority is get mental health help. Medicare and public health departments in your county should have free services available just give them a call. Job center help should be a priority for you next, of course limited to your particular disability.

I worry about folks talking about being depressed and depressant drugs are also being used. I think this computer game stuff should wait until your in a more stable place mental health wise and financial wise.

I know, I know.....not my place or this ain't the right forum or mind my own business. I would just have felt remorse for not saying anything.

check the papers for any computer repair stores going out of business, no doubt they'll be auctioning off parts.

the paper is that thing gramps reads to get the news instead of using his computer he got last year

We'll just start a forum text-based EQ game for Fourthmeal. It's just as good.

You are standing in the Misty Thicket. The lush grass ripples gently in
the wind, and all around you are the quaint burrows of the halfling people.
Crickets make those cricket sounds in the aforementioned thicket while rats,
bats, wolves and fire beetles frolick in the hills.
A fire beetle is here.
A large rat is here.
You can go north, south, east, and west.

You are Fourthmeal, level 1 druid.

SeaTacistan is where I thrive
You cross a Somali, you won't stay alive

glad I got camo

[Infectious]

Assuming a computer is only $300 I would say get a job. If u have a phone and a roof over your head pretty much means your parents support you.

Grow up and get a job. Its sad when someone can play EQ for 18 hours a day and post on forums all day but cant get a job. If u put as much time into gettin a job as you do eq you would probably be successful.

[Maurk]

work for taco bell?
break into an elementary school and steal a computer?

[Eccentricaa]

Governments are good at wasting money.

I bought a PALLET of 21 inch monitors for 10 bucks at a state government auction.

Govdeals.com is a website many counties governments use to auction off their used equipment. Just key in your zip to find stuff near you.

One near me http://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemID=480&acctID=776 ... 3 towers and 2 LCD monitors ... current bid for the set? 77 bucks. Just need to toss in hard drives and your good to go.

[fuji]

How are you writing this if you computer is broke? Use that computer or go to a computer store and get a $30 computer that will run EQ on high settings. I mean, what are the minimum specs? Like a p3 at 400mhz or something?

[gruumsh]

I will buy you a heaping sack of McDonald's to sooth your pain.
